Job Title: Engineering Technician

Salary: £50k-£60k

Company Description: Rivan Industries - VC-backed synthetic fuel startup decarbonising heavy industry.

Job Description:
Join a high-octane team building the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plants to underprice fossil fuels. As a hands-on technician, you will bridge the gap between design and reality, fabricating test rigs and full-scale assemblies. You’ll own the workshop execution, directly compounding iteration speed to solve one of Earth's biggest climate challenges.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Exceptional backing from elite investors including the Collison brothers (Stripe), 20VC, and Plural to scale synthetic fuel production 1000x.

• True ownership culture where you are expected to propose engineering solutions and guide design rather than just following instructions.

• Unique compensation package including a £6,000 annual relocation/housing subsidy to live near the Bermondsey HQ and unlimited time off.

What you will do:

• Build, plumbing, and wire complex modular systems including DAC systems, alkaline electrolysers, and Sabatier reactors from CAD models.

• Maintain and operate a suite of heavy machinery including water-jet cutters, laser cutters, lathes, mills, and advanced welding equipment.

• Execute critical validation tests for fluid, thermal, and electrical systems to provide the data necessary for rapid hardware iteration.

The ideal candidate:

• 4-5+ years of professional experience in a high-intensity workshop, factory, or laboratory environment with a multidisciplinary trade background.

• Proficiency in welding, fabrication, and machining with the ability to work independently from engineering drawings and tight tolerances.

• High agency and a "maker" mindset, evidenced by personal projects, tinkering, or a history of solving complex mechanical problems autonomously.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
